lyrics

It seemed to happen overnight. One day, they could pass around sage words of a bygone era, so they could be heard ... but the next day, when they went to read, there were no files. The text was gone. They'd deleted the books. There was no paper. It had been long ago been burned. That was the problem in a neo-digital world: it didn't take much work to be an asshole, to delete a file, if you had the power.

This album was a no question instant buy for me after discovering the band on Facebook. The crushing guitar riffs, aggressive punk sound and fast paced in your face drumming is what hooked me right away. Solid overall album that is easily among the best of the year. Frank Fratto
